Connect Vaio to TV

Hello all
I'm still trying to find out how to connect my A115Z to my TV. The manual says it has a tv out facility but I cant find it!

Hi mate

I have just got a VGN-A115Z myself last week. on the back of the laptop there is a small flap. if you open this you will see a small round 3.5 mm jack socket. this is the TV outlet point.
you need a cable like the one i have in the photo. this is from my camcorder and works with the laptop:smileygrin: . hope this helps.
also the sound from the laptop works on the TV to.

all the best Spider.s3

Anyone know about the PCG GRS614MP Viao laptop? As in TV out? I have a picture of what I am talking about but I can not seem to upload the image

On a kind-of related subject: does anyone know if the audio output is a mono or stereo signal?
I saw the pic already posted is a 3-wire stereo lead, but i only have a 2 wire lead (from my Cybershot Camera) - i'll only bother looking for a 3 wire lead if the PC output is stereo.
I have a Vaio model PGC-FR415B (theres no manual available on this website)
Thanks for any advice,
Wombie 🙂

It is stereo, the Cybershot camera is mono though.

Hey Spider,
Hope your still there. Could you tell me which camcorder you have so I can get the same lead. I just bought a cable that looked like yours but all I get is a distorted picture on the tv.

Cheers

Whoa, really nice to hear that the TV out jack supports audio as well! Less cable clutter.

Hi there.

The cable you need (if you want the SONY one) is the VMC-20FR. You can pick it up easily as it's used with the SONY camrecorders and other devices. I have tried on a F, FX and GRT serie and has worked fine. Should be the same on VGN-A serie.

Enjoy.

Hello fellow Viao users

I have a PCG-GRS614MP Viao and the cable for TV-out is nothing like the Phono one that has been previously mentioned. I am curious as to wether anyone else has a strange cable problem like this? Looking at the socket its self it appears to need something like a headphone plug.

Just curious if anyone else has had the same thing?

It requires a RCA plug (yellow), and for sound use a 3.5mm stereo jack to phono pair.
